LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

Spunchem in April 2001 installed successfully an upgraded technology / output 5500 TPY Spunbond Plant increasing total capacity to 8000 TPY. The new Plant included improvements developed through Spunchem's experience and consultations with leading technical supports worldwide.
Spunchem is now in a position to service industrial and technical segments of the spunbond market with its range of products. The "Twintrac" product range has isotropic physical strength not found in conventional spunbonds.

PRODUCTS

SPRING POCKETS
Spunchem has now become the market leader in "spring pocket" fabric in the U.K.  Through a close association with our valued U.K. customers, a "square" fabric (in terms of physical properties and weight eveness) has been achieved. Growth in the U.K. and in the world market in this product is vast, as the product replaces more expensive traditional fabrics.

INSULATION / BUILDING FABRICS
Spunchem has been actively engaged in developing fabric for our German customers, and are currently selling 2000 tons per annum for these applications. The joint development of this specialised product with Spunchem's customers has been highly successful as a component of the final product. Laminated and coated fabric developments are in the final phase and will be available shortly.
